With their eighth victory, the ‘Eagles’ consolidated themselves in the leadership of the tournament, an area that gives them a direct pass to the postseason to seek the title. As will be well remembered, the clubs that occupy the first four places at the end of the 17 days of the regular season advance directly to the league.

The other eight teams occupying places 5 to 12 will face a single match and the four winning clubs will relocate to places 5 to 8, depending on their position in the table, to play the quarterfinals.

“We are happy with the work done and the points obtained, but there is still work ahead, the tournament is very even, each game is difficult and the rivals are of a high level”said the technical director of América, Argentine Santiago Solari.
